Alger Hiss, Secretary-General of the San Francisco Conference, where the UN Charter was drafted and signed, spoke about the role of Sobolev and US delegate Leo Pasvolsky: "they were the draftsmen of the Charter in San Francisco.

Now, the outline had been written before; I'm talking about the specific language which is a very important part of any treaty, I think it was Pasvolsky and Sobolev who were really responsible for the form the Charter took."

Sobolev and Pasvolsky had the primary responsibility to "put the various drafts together into a working text.
